Yeah, the slowness is an unfortunate side effect because for
every match, it has to look back at the preceding bit of the line
to ensure there's not an odd number of double-quotes. I didn't
find it notably slow in practice, but one might be able to put in
a few fast-checks something like
:%s/\%(^\%([^"]\+\|"[^"]*"\)*\)\@<=\<[^"]\+/\L&/g
(adding the "\<") so that fewer matches can be found that require
back-tracking.
